Jobs on strange Equipment

[Arcon]

PUP was originally Necromancer, which was a mage class.

Did they say that? It must have been quite early in the conception stage, because Puppetmaster (as puppetmaster) is a recurring core element to much of Whitegate's storyline. I find it hard to believe that they made skill adjustments before they even knew what kind of class they would be.

@DRK on shield:

It's obvious.

No? It has its uses, but I doubt extremely that the dev team intended for any of them.

[Neisan_Quetz]

To be exact, people asked for necromancer but SE said it wasn't possible. Puppetmaster was possible however.

[Zatias]

It's obvious DRK can wear shields because we can wear them with a 2handed weapon.

[Bulrogg]

DRK/pld or DRK/rdm w/ sword + shield is maybe what they had intended if for, but I don't see it as being as useful as it may have been in the past.

so they'd have to go back and redo PUP's armor selection which would have delayed ToAU,

So they had time to create an entirely different job, without mp, that has its own mechanics, a pet with its own inventory, a whole host of items created solely for the puppet, as well as center the storyline around a puppetmaster, numerous quests involving puppets and puppetmasters, and putting pup on usukane was all within time constraints, but realizing a dd with no mp shouldn't wear mage gear and changing its equipment over would have delayed the expansion?

Along the same lines as PUP with throwing weapons, why the hell does RNG have access to ammo pieces (like the double attack ammo piece added in the last update)? I think that's even more beyond retardo considering RNG is pretty much unplayable without a ranged weapon... At least PUP can function with a throwing weapon equipped, albeit lower function than normal.

[Zatias]

WHM can wear the Trainee GA, Sword and Katana. Those are bladed weapons which are prohibited!

[Crimson_Slasher]

Rdm on a large chunk of hand to hand weapons. Though at 20 i did love /mnk and combo + enspell.

[Shiyo]

RDM not being on searing cape yet pup and SMN being on it.(This also destroys your argument of "necromancer lololol").

WAR PLD(kind of makes sense) DRK BST RNG SAM DRG being on stone mufflers, yet WHM or SCH which get stoneskin natively and are MAGE jobs not on them.

RDM on H2H and DRK on Bows (no Archery)
